If you don't need an SBC, don't buy one. There's enough overpriced python script temperature showing LCDs.

>>12 I used it as a mini retro-console for a while. I even had a SNES shaped case and controllers There are some cool projects I had in mind tho, like a Holocube or a Magic Mirror

not much reason to get one tbh unless you just wanna have fun and got the cash to spare which is why i got one now i only use it as a homeserver ig i could look for some cool diy project, but meh sounds kinda pointless tbh im more of a software guy than hardware guy hardware is just too much of a pain in the ass to deal with

>>12 You can use this small computers to interface with custom electronics via GPIO. I tought about giving electronics a try, but you have to spend money on so many little components its quite overwhelming

>>12 i used one of these to make a retro emulator console for my friend, basically what the other guy said above. worked pretty well for everything n64 and older. beyond that, something like a seedbox or a fileserver will be a good use for em as well. i mean it kinda depends on what you're into.

>>677 i think they meant that you could host a blog reviewing these things.

>>678 oh ok haha sorry

What's the best SD card for a RasPi 5?

>>718 Sandisk is what I use. Use a micro SD card with at least 8GB, maybe even 16GB storage space to avoid it bricking itself after a year due to not being able to allocate bad sectors.

>>12 my Pi 4 sits next to my desktop and plays downloaded Youtube videos and music it also does a handful of LAN web things like running a few local instances of some web applications (in particular, poti-board for oekaki!) and SMB and the lot it's very useful having another computer next to your actual computer, although I do want a Pi 5 since doing web browsing anything is unbearably slow (although I don't expect a major performance bump) >>718 using an SD card with a Pi is probably a bad idea if your use case can boot from USB running over a cheap SSD over USB with a SATA-USB cable has been way, way, way better, just head and shoulders faster if you do need an SD for your specific use case, prioritize speed and then size a too slow SD card on a Pi 4 or 5 will cause extremely painful UI stalls, found that out when moving my old Pi 2 card to a 4 and although technically everything was faster when you measured the times, the UI was vastly less responsive while a too small one will absolutely brick itself since you need some buffer space to spread out writes, and a boot drive will absolutely be hammered by regular writes
